Beyond the Call: Daniel Marsh

🎖 Beyond the Call | Daniel’s Story – From PTSD to Purpose

In this deeply personal and moving episode of Beyond the Call, Daniel shares his powerful journey of life after service — from battling undiagnosed PTSD and struggling to adjust to civilian life, to discovering purpose through peer support, wellness retreats, and founding his own organization: Light for Veterans Foundation.

Hosted by Cory D’Andrea, this conversation explores:
✔️ The difficult transition out of the Canadian Armed Forces
✔️ The emotional toll of PTSD and isolation
✔️ How purpose and community can become lifelines
✔️ The importance of asking for help — and redefining strength
✔️ What Remembrance Week truly means to those who’ve served

Daniel’s story is a testament to the resilience of our veterans and the power of connection. Whether you’re just starting your journey after service or supporting someone who is, this episode reminds us that you are not alone — and that there is hope, support, and a path forward.
